4 Moments You Can Steal For A Quick Workout During
The Holidays
The busiest time of the year is also the hardest time of the year
to fit in your workouts. We get it! Between the shopping, the parties and the
family gatherings—it can be super hard to catch a break in the day to work up a
sweat. Our number one goal is to help you make healthy happen and the best way
to do it is by finding the moments you can spare to get your heart rate pumping!
Here are a few of our favourite
times to sneak in some calorie burning, like when you…
Wake Up a Few Minutes Early.....
When you wake up before the sun, you
have two choices—turn over and catch a few extra ZZs OR get up and start your
day with a little exercise. Start with a good stretch and move on to some core

all great exercises to start your day off right!
Put on favourite movie, but Don’t Chill....
Sometimes you just need a night to
binge your favourite shows and relax from all the chaos the holidays can bring.
Instead of heading to the couch with a bowl of popcorn, take it to the floor
instead and start feeling the burn. Try a wall sit and time yourself. However

Are Waiting for the Laundry to Dry .....
You transferred the laundry over and
finished folding the latest load. While you’re waiting for the dryer to beep
with your next, why don’t you take a few minutes to do a mat work out? Mountain
climbers , push ups, planks—they can all be done on the floor without needing
any equipment!
Take Your Lunch Break......
A 9-5 can make it difficult to stay
active and get your blood pumping during the day. We totally understand , which
is why we’re sharing a few ideas for you to get your heart rate up in between
emails and deadlines. Try doing a few reps of chair squats, tricep dips or
challenge yourself to a minute of high knees! Some days you won’t be able to
find the time, but when you can—get burn in’.....
